Do you love your local maunga and want to care for it? Are you passionate about nature and keen to make a real difference in your community?
Urban Ark - Manawa Taiao is working with the Tūpuna Maunga Authority to care for Ōwairaka / Te Ahi-kā-a-Rakataura / Mt Albert - one of the treasured Tūpuna Maunga of Tāmaki Makaurau.
Our role is to support and strengthen volunteer efforts, working alongside the community in a way that respects what has come before and focuses on nurturing the mauri of the maunga. We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help restore native biodiversity and support the health of Ōwairaka.
Whether you’re new to conservation or have years of experience, there are many ways to get involved. We will be working both on the maunga and in the surrounding neighbourhoods, creating a protective ‘halo’ around the maunga that supports native species return and flourish.
Join us in helping Ōwairaka thrive for generations to come - flick us an email or fill out our short survey - we’d love to hear from you!
